What sort of landform is the Waitemata harbour?

The Waitematā Harbour (also known as Auckland Harbour) is a drowned river valley, stretching from Riverhead in the north-west to Tāmaki River in the east.

Why was it chosen to be New Zealand’s capital?

The harbour’s deep navigable channels and sheltered bays helped to determine Lieutenant-Governor Hobson’s choice of a site for New Zealand's capital in 1840

What does Waitemata mean?

Waitemata was a New Zealand parliamentary electorate, from 1871 to 1946, and then from 1954 to 1978

Tell me one interesting fact about each of these features of the Waitemata:

Wai-te-matā means ‘obsidian waters

Auckland’s chief port -Auckland’s port on the Waitematā was vital to the progress of the city and region

Viaduct basin -The site of the old fishing harbour,was redeveloped in the 1990’s

to 2003.

Westhaven -

Other marinas have been constructed around the harbour. On Auckland Anniversary Day each year the Auckland Regatta (the largest one-day regatta in the world) fills the harbour with sails.

Harbour bridge -

The Auckland Harbour Bridge (1,020 m long) was opened in 1959 to link the Auckland isthmus with the north.

Greenhithe bridge -The Greenhithe Bridge was built in 1975 as an alternative harbour crossing, spanning the upper Waitematā from Hobsonville to Greenhithe on the North Shore.

Natural features -Natural features of the Waitematā include Meola reef (also known as The Tokoroa, meaning ‘a long reef’), a rocky submarine promontory.

The seven Chairs

!!!The SEVEN CHAIRS!!!

!!!KAPOW!!! One day inside the museum two ladies named Lisa and Chump saw a few chairs in the air, there were 7 chairs in a group (each sister produces a lot of energy by an animal).

They saw Lisa and Chump and put a spell on them to never leave the museum again and no-one can see them unless they help them find the eye of death.

So Lisa and Chump tried everything they got but they didn’t find the eye,but what they found was a riddle for were it could be and it lead them to the basement. Meanwhile they saw three of the evil sisters sharing the eye of death,The sisters keeped it a secret until chump bravely told the 7 sisters up in the museum still looking for the eye in  the egypt aisle. then the 5th sister ended up in the front.She said “don't lie to me” so Lisa and Chump took them down to the basement and found the three sister casting spells on the people by touching them in the real  world.

So the sisters magnificently tried to stop the 3 sisters but they had an epic battle between the Eye of death.They let Lisa and Chump go because there was only one way to destroy them and the Eye of death, They had to sacrifice themselves before the 3 sisters take over the world and once they did, all of the people that was cursed from what the 3 sister turned normal again and lived happily ever after.
